This report is based on some assumptions, which may be wrong :) Some information in the app, such as addresses of monuments, is written in the language of the country. It may have a different direction from the language of the app. A simple solution is probably to apply the language of the country to such information, and the direction of that language as HTML lang and dir elements. (If I understand correctly, the app is HTML-based.)
I believe this is taken care of https://github.com/wikimedia/WLMMobile/blob/master/assets/www/js/app.js#L846 The problem however is that the css doesn't pay attention this. I believe yuvipanda was looking at this? If this is indeed what you meant please close this ticket and comment on bug 39288 Thanks Amir! :)
closing in favour of bug 39288. Please reopen if this is not fixed.
Reopening. It's a particular issue that should be taken care of. At least, the dir attribute must always be applied to addresses of monuments, even if it's ltr. Practically, the only country with RTL addresses this year is Israel, so apply dir="rtl" to addresses in Israel and dir="ltr" to addresses in other countries. In the future it may become more complicated, but this would be enough for now.
Created attachment 11071 [details] Amir I'm pretty confident this is a duplicate. Does this screenshot exhibit the correct behaviour?
(If the above does then this is a duplicate of bug 39288)
The rendering on this screenshot is good. I was talking more about the street addresses in the monuments list and not on an individual monument.
Created attachment 11074 [details] addresses on monuments list Unfortunately this fix didn't make it in for today's release but should be present in the next release. If this image shows the problem fixed please close this ticket as a duplicate.
Please reopen if this is not now fixed.
